Mummy & Baby Moon

Today is our family outing to beach and this is the first time Baby Moon goes to the beach. There are few things that I bring along to make our trip more enjoyable. Here I share with you the things that I think we won’t want to leave home without.

1. Swimsuit - You can go with or without swimsuit. Some people prefer to have own T-shirt and short pants rather than swimsuit. It depends on your own comfort and if you would like to swim in the sea, it is advisable to put on the swimsuit so that you’ll not end up feeling really weighed down and heavy when you get out. I’ve bought Baby Moon a new swimsuit and I always feel that little girl in a small piece of swimsuit always looks cute. She is very excited when tried it at home. However, when we reach the beach, she doesn’t want to get change.

2. Sunscreen - This is the most important item that you shouldn’t be ignored and must bring along. Too much sun can damage and dry our skin. Apply sunscreen with a SPF (Sun Protection Factor) of at least 30 for children. Paying attention to your kids from time to time and try to avoid sun exposure during the hottest hours of the sun’s rays (between 10am and 3pm)

3. Beach Towels - Bring along beach towels for each family members and it’s always a good idea to bring along extras.

4. Clean Clothes - This is the must bring items and for you to clean up and get changed before heading home.

5. Shampoos - Hair and body shampoos so that you and your children feel clean and comfort after the salted water.

6. Sand & Water Toys - This is a must if you have kids. By nature, kids are active and love digging and building in the sand. I bought sand & water toys for Baby Moon and she enjoys the toys very much.

7. Drinks & Snacks - You can always bring your own food and beverages and have a picnic there. Do remember to bring lots of water, especially if the temperature is high, to avoid dehydration. Prepare your kids favourite food because they easily feel tired and hungry when playing around at the seaside.

8. Plastic Bags - The plastic bags are useful for the wet suits and shoes. You also need plastic bags for the leftover food or rubbish. Do bring several plastic bags along.

9. Camera - To capture the happy and sunny memories. The waterproof disposable cameras and disposable cameras for underwater use are normally available at the beach. You could also bring along your own camera but don’t bring an expensive camera because you might not have full attention for your camera when playing at the seaside.

10. Formula and Milk Bottles - If you are going with your toddler, do remember to bring along the formula and milk bottles. My Baby Moon always needs to have the formula before nap and we would bring along her formula every long hours outing. Today she is very tired and hungry after playing at the seaside for about two hours. She quickly get into sweet nap after taking the formula.

My Baby Moon seems like doesn’t like the sand, she keeps on cleaning away the sand on her legs and hands.
